A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u... Remember when Trump declared he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. We should have jailed that fucker the next day and left him there. ICE is a hit team for him.
Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c... Holy shit. The orange ignoramus thinks he can erase science? Make American Great Again? It makes us great once-upon-a-time in the past, but not anymore. Now we are a severely weakened pariah.
‘Don Colossus,’ a Golden Statue of President Trump, Waits for Its Home www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/t... Please take a moment to think on the fatal hubris of a man who wants a 15-foot gold-plated statue of himself the scale is fodder for a Greek tragedy. Notice also the astonishing grift. Hideous.
www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/t... This is now a GIGANTIC company with deep involvement in AI, space launch vehicles, and global satellite-based communications and internet (and electric cars/trucks). Musk is a very strange bird. Remember DOGE? Now EXTREMELY powerful in future industries. And $$$.
www.washingtonpost.com//world/2026/... Yet another kind of deep and lasting damage Trump and his nazis are wreaking here and globally. We need to sweep all of these creeps out of office and into prison. We are not acting fast enough or strongly enough to make this STOP.

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u... This is just so hideous. Hegseth is a wart on a hyena's butt.
France grants citizenship to George and Amal Clooney and their twins Ella and Alexander apnews.com/article/geor... So long, Mr. Clooney. Good choice. Have a good life in Not-Trump-Land.
youtube.com/watch?v=AqaD... I've had many cameras - film and digital. I migrated to Sony, but started lusting after a Leica Q-series. Didn't want to pay the premium Leica price. Recently bought the "Baby Q" and LOVE it for a dozen reasons. Sold all my Sony stuff. This is a HUGE improvement.

consumerbuzzreport.com/cq10v3/?1=31 This is the real deal. 15-25% of people taking, for example, atorvastatin, experience developing weakness in important, major muscles. I'm one of them. I have seen doctors of all stripes, but it was up to me to link the statins with failing leg strength. Crazy.
Trump Announces Strike Against ISIS in Nigeria www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u... Another completely insane action and post on "Truth Social". His Merry Christmas to dead ISIS members is below the dignity of an 8th grader. Trump is a walking cesspool. Disgusting.
After missing deadline, DOJ says it may need a 'few more weeks' to finish releasing Epstein files apnews.com/article/sena... So, how friggin' incompetent (and crooked) do you have to be to suddenly realize there are well over a million documents that DOJ didn't know about before now??!! Uh, oops!
Trump Administration Orders Nearly 30 U.S. Ambassadors to Leave Their Posts www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/u... What the heck?? He's a wrecking ball.
Land Grab: Israel’s Escalating Campaign for Control of the West Bank www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Count me as one who loathes the State of Israel and believes it never should have been created. Dropped in the middle of Islamic counties, now pillaging what rightly belongs to others. F*k em.
‘60 Minutes’ Pulled a Segment. A Correspondent Calls It ‘Political.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b... I haven't watched 60 Minutes in years, but whatever credibility they had, they have now forfeited. I AM a devoted Stephen Colbert fan and we know how he was treated by CBS. PS: Cronkite was on CBS.
Trump Halts Five Wind Farms Off the East Coast www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c... "National security" my ass! Trump is such a damn monster. Is he getting truckloads of cash from big oil?
Kansas tribe ends nearly $30 million deal with ICE apnews.com/article/nati... YES!!
Trump Administration Aims to Strip More Foreign-Born Americans of Citizenship www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u... This is just INSANE. Unconscionable.
Trump Administration Live Updates: Venezuela’s Navy Begins Escorting Ships as U.S. Threatens Blockade www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12... Oh, great. Venezuela will be escorting its oil tankers with its Navy ships. What could go wrong? Besides EVERYTHING! You reckon Hegseth thought this all out first?
www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/c... This is premeditated murder of science, and conspiracy to kill off all living things and destroy the planet. Trump is worse than nuclear holocaust. Really.
www.propublica.org/article/ron-... The United States has participated in and pioneered many major advances in science and medicine. Now we have a miserable, lunatic quack in charge of our health system...and people like this Senator promoting medicinal bleach as the magic bullet for all ills. OMG!
www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u... TSA + ICE = HORRORSHOW! Seriously fucked up.
EU indefinitely freezes Russian assets so Hungary and Slovakia can't veto their use for Ukraine apnews.com/article/eu-r... WOW! The European Union has taken the leadership position in favor of Ukraine and against Russia. The US is now on the wrong side of history on this.

www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/w... Trump has ZERO interest in a just peace or the welfare of Ukraine. He just wants to put a notch in his belt as a "peacemaker". It is, of course, total, despicable bullshit.

Trump says the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela apnews.com/article/trum... What the ABSOLUTE fuck??!! The US is a pirate nation now! This is piracy and nothing less. Look for widespread international condemnation. Possibly sanctions against the US. An ICC warrant for arrest?
